Starting Windows® with TV Display Enabled

The TV screen may become scrambled during the initial Windows® logo display. This is only a temporary effect and your screen will be restored within a few seconds.

During start up, your RADEON card will go through a sequence of mode settings, during which your TV display will remain blank. This process takes only a few seconds and helps program the TV display.

The above illustration shows how to connect your RADEON 8500 to a European TV using the SCART.

The SCART connector supports only the Composite video format, which means you will have to use an S-Video-to-Composite Video Adapter Cable. If your European TV does support S-Video input, you should connect directly to the TV with an S-Video cable rather than through the SCART.

For the RADEON 7500 you can use a Composite (RCA) cable to connect directly to the SCART.

How To Enable/Disable The TV Display
